| Summary/Abstract |
The 70th anniversary of the common victory of the Armed Forces of the U.S.S.R. and the Mongolian People's Republic over the troops of militarist Japan and its puppet state Manchou-Go on the Khalkhyn Gol River in Eastern Mongolia was marked in August 2009. A number of functions were arranged in Russia and Mongolia devoted to this memorable date. It was not accidental that the first official visit of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Mongolia was timed to the celebration of the anniversary. While handing Russian awards to Mongolian veterans Dmitry Medvedev noted that the peoples of Russia and Mongolia "would always remember our alliance and cooperation in battle and those who defeated the aggressor, upheld the territorial integrity of Mongolia and, ultimately, contributed to the rout of the enemy in the Second World War.
